Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

That's an exaggeration.

In the second-floor corridor, dust from the ceiling fell onto Amamiya Rin's shoulder due to the violent tremors as he gazed at the chaos below.

Two three-meter-tall giants, forcibly fused together from countless living beings, are violently destroying everything in their path.

Each of their punches was so heavy it made the air hum, easily shattering the ever-emerging Kayako clones into pieces. Their black hair, like a tidal wave, was entangled and then torn apart by pure mass, and the walls and floors were constantly adding new scars amidst the roar.

How could a spirit, which is clearly inefficient at interfering with matter, achieve this level of capability?

Amamiya Rin watched the battle calmly, her heart unmoved.

Although A-gei and Hongdou have high stats, they lack skills to utilize those stats effectively. While they look impressive at their current level, it's still impossible for them to defeat Kayako.

No… from the moment they fused a large number of living beings into one giant being, Kayako’s victory was inevitable.

In an instant, the giant's body exploded without warning.

The chest of the giant on the left suddenly caved in and burst open, while a huge hole simultaneously exploded in the shoulder and neck of the giant on the right.

Immediately afterwards, holes, tears, dents... all sorts of horrific damage bloomed out of thin air on the giant's body like invisible flowers, as if it were being struck simultaneously from all angles by countless invisible hammers. The massive spirit body trembled violently, without even a chance to retaliate.

The impact, invisible to the naked eye, had no origin or process, only the result of the force of the blow. The giant staggered backward, its massive body trembling violently under the invisible force, and the aggregate began to sway erratically, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

Ah Gei and Hong Dou are doomed!

Amamiya Rin calmly made a judgment.

A-gei and Hong-dou didn't understand what was going on with the sudden destruction that appeared on the creatures, or even the creatures that suddenly exploded earlier, but he had figured it out.

That's interference with time.

Just like in "Ju-on 2", the character who is hanged from the ceiling in the future, with his legs constantly shaking, knocks over the teacup that was placed on the table in the past. That is Kayako connecting the future and the past.

The same applies here. The chaos that Kayako deliberately created caused the living giants to wreak havoc indoors, and the consequences of their destruction will be transferred from the future to the present by Kayako.

Moreover, Kayako, as a cursed spirit, is immortal.

With its immortality and ability to distort spacetime, the stronger the enemy's attack, the easier it is for them to die.

The moment he made his decision, Amamiya Rin no longer hesitated.

He turned and went back to Kayako's bedroom, opened the window, braced himself against the window frame with one hand, and jumped out.

The height of the second floor was nothing to him.

He activated the Red Lotus Breathing Technique, adjusted his posture in mid-air, and rolled on his knees upon landing to dissipate the impact. Despite the pebbles digging into his palms, he didn't stop and rushed towards the living room.

The sliding door between the living room and the courtyard had been deformed and tilted by the previous impact, hanging halfway on the door frame. Amamiya Rin slipped sideways into the doorway.

The scene before me was even more chaotic than what I had seen on the second floor.

New holes kept exploding into the bodies of the two pale giants, only to be repaired again and again.

A-gei and Anko were completely unaware of Kayako's abilities. Relying on their immense, almost superhuman, soul power, they maintained the existence of the living giant, continued to wreak havoc on the haunted house, and endured attacks that would come from some point in the future.

Hongdou sat on the floor behind the sofa, her back to the courtyard, blood still seeping from the gunshot wound in her leg, her body trembling slightly.

opportunity!

Without making a sound, Yu Gonglin crouched down and darted towards Hongdou's location like a cheetah.

Anko's attention was partly distracted by the gunshot wound to her leg and partly focused on controlling her avatar to fight Kayako, completely unaware of the danger approaching from behind.

In a split second, Amamiya Rin's left arm wrapped around her neck from behind, and his right hand pinched her chin, twisting it toward him while prying open Hongdou's mouth.

"Ugh—!!"

Hongdou stared in horror, struggling desperately, her hands frantically clawing backward.

Unmoved, Yu Gonglin's throat bobbed as a dozen semi-transparent nerve threads, each ending in a needle tip, shot out of his mouth and pierced into Hongdou's open mouth!

The nerve thread pierced through the soft tissue, precisely connecting with the cranial nerve of the red bean.

Piercing, wrapping, connecting—all done in one smooth motion.

"Well--!!"

Hongdou's body trembled violently, her eyes rolled back, and with the connection of her cranial nerves, countless memories, sensory feedback, and emotional fluctuations that did not belong to her rushed into her brain like a flood that had burst its banks.

The massive and chaotic flow of information almost instantly swallowed up her self-awareness.

Resistance? That's impossible!

Unlike Tomie, who possessed a terrifying obsession with herself and endured tens of thousands of years of fragmented memories and the egos of others, Anko's psychological defenses were as fragile as paper. Although her body had not yet transformed into Tomie's physique, her mind had already been assimilated by Tomie's cognition.

In the blink of an eye, a new Tomie was born.

She blinked, and the panic and anger that had once belonged to Hongdou in her eyes faded like mist under the sunlight, replaced by a sense of entitlement and disdain for everything.

She twisted her neck, and Amamiya Rin loosened her grip. The newly minted psychic, Tomie, grabbed Amamiya Rin's arm and used the leverage to stand up.

The movement pulled at the surrounding muscles of her leg wound, causing her to wince in pain.

But she didn't care about such a trivial matter. She held Yu Gonglin's cheeks with both hands and looked into his eyes at a very close distance.

"Ugh, it looks awful."

She muttered to herself, her voice full of displeasure.

"How could you turn me into such an ugly woman? That's outrageous!"

Tomie, a psychic, was not displeased with Amamiya Rin.

No, it's not that there was no targeting of him, but rather that it wasn't entirely targeted at him.

More than Amamiya Rin, she was dissatisfied with her current face. The transformation of Tomie's physique would take time, and she was still wearing Anko's ordinary face.

For Tomie Kawakami, even a beautiful woman is considered ugly and mediocre in her eyes. What difference is there between her and an ugly ghost?

(Tsk! Another one!)

(Hmph! This time it really is a fake.)

(Let this happen again! Lin-kun, these imposters only lower the purity of Kawakami Tomie!)

(Although they are all counterfeit, this ugly thing is even worse than the other counterfeits.)

……

Sensing the rebirth of Tomie, an undisguised rejection surged within the [Tomie Network].

Dissatisfaction, disgust, and sarcasm surged forth, almost overwhelming the newly born psychic Tomie.

Even within the [Tomie Network], there is a hierarchy of contempt: ordinary imposters, imposters who don't look like Kawakami Tomie, and imposters who are transformed from other people.

At this point, Tomie, a psychic, was undoubtedly at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

Of course, even at the very bottom of the social hierarchy, the psychic who has transformed into Tomie will never show weakness, nor will she consider herself a weakling.

(Shut up, you bunch of imposters. I am the real Tomie Kawakami, what right do you cheap imposters have to tell me what to do?)

She raised an eyebrow and retorted without any politeness.

(Huh?! Who are you calling an imposter?!)

(Wow, that's incredibly audacious! I've never seen such a shameless imposter before!)

(I'll take you down! I'll definitely make you the first one I take down in the future!)

……

Her overly confident attitude undoubtedly angered the other individuals in the [Tomie Network]. Those Tomies never expected that a psychic Tomie, who hadn't even transformed into Kawakami Tomie in appearance or physique, could so confidently accuse others of being imposters.

For a moment, [Fujiang Network] was filled with rage.

(So ​​noisy, a bunch of chattering shoddy imitations.)

The psychic Tomie frowned and unceremoniously deflected her thoughts back, her expression filled with sarcasm.

(I am the real Tomie Kawakami, the eternally beautiful soul dwelling here. You imposters who only rely on deformed bodies, what right do you have to point fingers at me?)

Unlike Tomie who sees a strong physique and a fit body as beautiful, unlike the vampire Tomie who wants to devour all other Tomies, and unlike Moro Tomie who wants to erase the consciousness of other Tomies, Tomie, who was transformed from a psychic, also has her own Tomie philosophy.

(Hmph, soul? We are immortal, so would Kawakami Tomie, who has a soul, still be considered Kawakami Tomie?)

The others naturally scoffed at Tomie's ideas, completely disapproving of the psychic Tomie's thoughts.

While the psychic Tomie was engaged in a theoretical debate with the other Tomies, one of the living giants fighting against Kayako, after losing the infusion and repair of spiritual power, saw its countless living light images completely collapse amidst violent turmoil and vanish into thin air.

Age noticed the anomaly immediately. The giant creature she controlled smashed another Kayako with a punch and turned to look in the direction of Anko.

She saw Amamiya Rin, saw Hongdou's stiff body, and saw those eerie white tentacles that extended from Amamiya Rin's mouth and pierced into Hongdou's throat.

"Red Bean?! What did you do to her?!"

A-Ge screamed and controlled the giant to turn and charge this way.

"Shut up! I'm not some Red Bean. Such an awful and unappealing name is an insult to me. It's ridiculous."

The psychic Tomie released her hands from holding Amamiya Rin's cheeks, turned to the charging giant and Age behind him, and said with a disdainful expression, her tone as casual as if she were evaluating a piece of trash.

She closed her eyes, focused her mind, and gently rubbed her temples with her fingers.

"This ugly face... these chattering imposters... and that yelling, stupid woman... so annoying, so incredibly annoying! Die, all of you die, why were you even born?"

She deliberately amplified every negative emotion in her heart.

Disgust for her own physical form, hatred for other Tomie beings, aversion to Ajina's calls... all sorts of negative emotions were frantically generated by her self-suggestion techniques, boiling to a peak in a very short time!

Self-suggestion, like a poisonous vine, quickly entwined her consciousness, and the deliberately catalyzed violence roared deep within her heart. With a breakthrough, these forcibly amplified negative emotions found an outlet, as if they had been released.

"Haaah—!!"

She suddenly opened her eyes and let out a shriek that sounded inhuman!

In an instant, the air in the living room seemed to be violently stirred and twisted by an invisible giant hand, centered on her!

Near-tangible psychic energy, mixed with boiling, churning malice and negative emotions, erupted from her body like a black fountain, frantically condensing, compressing, and shaping in mid-air!

A silver-red silhouette with distinct armor-like textures on the shoulders was quickly outlined, a sharp headdress took shape on the forehead, and the whole body shone with an ominous blue-white light—a dark red giant with a slightly blurred outline, about four meters tall, exuding a far more terrifying sense of oppression and chaotic malice than the two previous giant creatures, suddenly appeared in the center of the messy living room!

The floor where it stood collapsed and caved in as the sudden weight was applied, sending rubble and wood chips flying everywhere.

"What...what the hell is that?!"

The living giant controlled by Age suddenly stopped, staring in astonishment at the dark red giant that had suddenly appeared before him.

The oppressive and chaotic malice emanating from the other person made her instinctively feel palpitations.

"...Delusional Seven?"

Amamiya Rin looked up at the newly born giant creature, his expression turning strange.

No! That's no longer an ordinary living giant...

"That's right, it's a ghost story, a ghost story born from extreme anger! Seven variant! Delusional Seven!"

The psychic Tomie revealed an arrogant expression.

What kind of creature is that? That kind of thing is too ordinary.

The psychic Tomie obtained Rin Amamiya's ghost story creation plan from his memories, and then, without hesitation, she borrowed this plan to create her own ghost story form.

Using extreme emotions as a catalyst, a creature with specific tendencies is born. Then, using self-suggestion and hypnotic techniques as a sculptor, the external form and internal concept of this creature are shaped... If this is all, only the prototype of a ghost story can be created, that is, a shell used to carry the power of belief.

However, the operation went unexpectedly smoothly. When she used her spiritual power and hypnosis to create this body, an invisible force of belief actually descended—in a corner of Tokyo, urban legends about "Ultraman Seven descending and fighting monsters" began to circulate among a certain group of people, and hundreds and thousands of people genuinely believed in this "fact".

This belief, pointing to "Ultraman Seven," was like finding the most suitable vessel, poured into this newly formed body that was confronting monsters, making it a true ghost story.

However, the strange legend that was born—Ultraman Seven—does not have an orthodox form. This is because Tomie, the spiritual being who created the core, has an extremely negative emotional background. The belief that ultimately came down, combined with the evil thoughts she fostered, was born into the world in this ominous and delusional Seven form—one of Ultraman Seven's forms.

"Go! Take that guy down!"

The psychic Tomie pointed at the astonished Age and the giant creature she controlled, a sweet smile almost sinister on her face.

The delusion that Seven moved.

It let out a silent roar, took a heavy step, raised its right arm, and delivered a straight punch with no fancy moves, carrying a strong wind pressure, to the living giant controlled by Age!

Age was both shocked and furious, and hurriedly controlled the giant creature to raise its arms to block.

"Bang!!"

The delusional Seven's fist slammed solidly into the giant's crossed arms. The dull thud was accompanied by the fierce clash of two massive psychic energies, and the shockwave completely blew away the remaining furniture in the living room.

The immense force caused the giant creature to slide back several steps, crashing into a small section of the remaining wall. The light and shadow on its body fluctuated violently, dissipating in large patches.

The difference was stark. Even though the newly created Ghostly Paranoia Seven was merely a substandard product born from negative emotions, its quality, power, and sheer strength far surpassed the crude aggregate of life forms that A-gei had built up through sheer quantity. The clash between the two was never in doubt from the very beginning!
